SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,202, dated June 21, 1881.

Application tiled January 15, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD C. BROWN ot' the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented an Improved Oil- Stove and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to an oil-stove for heating and cooking purposes, the novel features of which are the details of construction of the oil-holding tank, as hereinafter specifically described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections of my oilstove. Fig. 3 shows the construction of the oil-reservoir with the cap and base.

Let A represent the base or stand ot' the stove, provided with legs a and the two supporting-standards b. The oil well or tank B tits within the stand A. The well B has a prozo jecting flange, b', around its rim, as shown,

which rests upon the rim of the stand A and supports the said well. In the rim of the well or tank B are the oppositely-placed lugs c, which t into sockets or slots d in the rim of the stand A. Thus the well or tank B is supported on the stand A, and is prevented by the lugs c from getting out of plane. The tank B is easily removable for purposes ot cleaning, which is a great advantage over the usual forms of tanks, which are tirmly secured to the stands and cannot be cleaned to advantage.

The tank B is provided with a cover or lid, C, fitting upon it in the same way as the cover of a pot, and being prevented from slipping by having slots o to tit over the projecting tops of the lugs c. The cover C is thus capable of being entirely separate from the well or tank B, which construction further facilitates the process of cleaning the said well or tank.

Through the cover are tted the burners D, inclosing wicks, and provided with the necessary mechanism for raising and lowering the wicks, as shown.

Over the burners are fitted two covers, E. These covers keep the burners from being heated, and thus lessen the danger of explosion by communicating heat to the oil within the tank or well B. It is obvious that these (N o model.)

covers E may be made of rial. v

F represents the drum attached to the rear ot' the stand by a hinge, G, as shown. The bottom of the drum is provided with the apertures H, to receive the burner D when the drum is down upon the standards b of the stand A. The drum F has the two lights or windows I covered with isinglass. the drum F, over the apertures admitting the burners D, are the chimneys J. The chimneys have the apertures Kin their sides, as shown. This construction allows the heat from the burners to pass out into the surrounding drum, and by thus heating the said drum warm the room.

The cover of the drum F is represented at L, having the standards M for resting a pot or kettle upon. Two apertures, l, in the cover above the chimneys J allow the heat from the burners to act on the pot or kettle above. The top L is secured by the boltN passing through the drum and through a piece ot' gauze, P, titted underneath the drum, and in which are apertures through which the burners pass, said bolt being secured with a nut under the gauze P, as shown.

This construction of the stove makes it possible to warm the room at the same time that any suitable mate- Within c a cooking-vessel is above. In the construction offoilstoves heretofore there is an upper drum above the chimneys, which is used to warm the room; but when cooking has to be done the drum is removed and a pot or kettle sub` F is closed, heats the drum and throws out 9o warmth while directing a part of the heat ot' the burner to the process of cooking above. The draft proceeds from beneath the drum F between the top of the oil-well and the drum, the standards b holding the drum a little abovel the oil-well.

Having thus described my invention, what securing the cover or lid C, substantially as I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letdescribed. 1o ters Patent, is- In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my In a cooking and heating oil-stove, the oil hand. 5 Well or tank B, having the side 1ugs,c,pro BERNARD C.
